So a "sharpshooter" is different than a sniper... ie, he's somebody trained in a military manner to a certain level of proficiency?
I had a neighbor that fell for this BS hook, line & sinker (a Democrat of course). He believed that deer hunting should only be done by these highly trained "sharpshooters" and that they were utterly surgical in their precision, as compared to Joe Neandertal who obviously couldn't hit a barn from inside.
The reality is that these "sharpshooters" were just cops getting overtime to ride around the parks spotlighting deer and shooting them at 30 feet with department M16s and AR15s.
